This spread is in the Micky Mouse journal I made last year. One year ago, on this date, the kid got her braces! She chose to have hot pink bands around the brackets, but the technician wasn’t paying attention and she ended up with purple! I found this image of Minnie in my stash with a big smile, so I modified it to include the braces. I showed it to the kid. Her comment was “You put THAT in your book????”
Welcome to February! This month I am focusing on a theme of Romance. Valentine’s Day is February 14, so it seems appropriate. I’m going with roses and other flowers, pink, red, white and gold, hearts and other items associated with romance. Above is the cover I’m using for my micro art journal. I used this one last year and I liked it so much, I’m going to use it again.
Welcome to 2024! I am beginning my year by going back to my roots. I realize, it may seem strange to go backwards to go forward. This year, however, I want to continue doing things that worked for me, while leaving behind the things that didn’t. One of these is my tiny art journals. I love them because they give me just enough space to do a bit of journaling, keep track of some things that I need/want to remember and just enough room to create a small art piece. They are fun to do, and don’t take up a lot of time.
It seems like forever since I was able to take my micro art kit to Starbucks or a small restaurant and work on my tiny art journal! I love this little bag because it’s just big enough to hold everything I need, including a nice set of colored pencils! As a bonus, the little bag will fit in the pocket of my cargo pants or jacket! This is at The Raven, in Prescott.
